A Charlie Brown Christmas airs tonight on ABC Television Network. Fifty-one years ago, Betty and Nelson Grit were teachers and had their students write letters to Coca-Cola, the sponsor of A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965. The letters were received, along with hundreds of others from around the United States, by Coca-Cola in 1965-1966. They compiled them into a scrapbook and sent the... View details ⇨

Let's hear some of the letters. And it would be neat to see if they remembered any of the students from that time. Also, it would be pretty awesome to track down some of the students to get their reactions to reading their own letters.

Happiness is...supporters like you! This #GivingTuesday help the Museum's continued efforts to preserve and share the legacy of Charles M. Schulz’s beloved Peanuts characters for generations to come. [ Schulzmuseum.org Link ]

Happy Birthday, Charles Monroe Schulz! The creator of Peanuts was born at home in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Dena and Carl Schulz on November 26, 1922. Today would have been his 94th Birthday. #schulzmuseum #charlesmschulz #schulz #peanuts #happybirthday #birthday #hbd #santarosa

My hero and such a nice person. He really did drive the Zamboni too! I met him at Snoopy's home ice next to his office in Santa Rosa California. He was so nice and he drove the Zamboni at intermission of the ice skating session I took my Daughters to. Nicest and most talented man ever! Thanks for the great comics that still have me chuckling to this day!

To help commemorate Charles M. Schulz’s birthday we’ve pulled a special letter from the Museum’s archival collection. In 1944, Schulz spent his 22nd birthday serving in the military. And although he was away from home, he received a special care package from his step-mother Annebelle. The letter gives us a wonderful and illustrated look into how Schulz celebrated his birthday.

The penmanship is impeccable and the drawing of himself eating a steak per the monies sent to Schulz for his Birthday shows his creativity and expressive nature. What an awesome letter to his Step-Mom who I'm sure enjoyed and appreciated the thoughtfulness per her Step-Son's Thank You for his Birthday gifts. Also awesome that Schultz loved "Meet Me in St. Louis" as you can't beat Judy Garland singing 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' and the warmth of such a wonderful film.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Charles M Schulz. You made a positive difference in my life and the lives of so many with your beloved Peanuts characters, the "comic strip" that I have loved since I was 4 years old. I learned to read at that age so I could read the Sunday comics without any help. I named my first pet Snoopy that same summer.

The world would be a much better place if everyone had the sense of humor blended with the high moral standards, and the heart of gold that you had.

I do not like winter I can always get cooled off during the summer time when I'm outside playing but winter time is hard to get warm outside if you don't have a bonfire going take care of such a God bless love you brother George

Winter is no problem here in Sydney Aust. Sure it gets cold, but there's no snow ! I'd rather winter to summer any day. Though, seeing your winters on the TV, maybe I'd change my mind if I lived there :)
